Idiots with super bright lights

[j_avonni]

Problems in driving. Kasalubong mo naka-bright. Sinusundan mo walang taillight, etc. etc.

[mbeige]

That's why I never forget to bring my laser pointer when I drive at night. Really, it doesn't tell them to turn their bright lights off, but it serves justice on my side by flashing it through their windshield. :D...

I think those laser pointers are even more dangerous. They can BLIND other drivers, literally. Yung high beams only glare, but are not enough to blind the other drivers. They only cause the pupils to constrict because there's too much light, thereby giving the illusion na you can't see a thing.

Aim your lights properly, that way there's no need to use the high beams. And if you know na mahina ang mata mo, don't use tint. It only aggravates the problem.

If somebody is using brights behind me, I turn the interior mirror para bumalik sa kanya. They usually switch back to low beam, and that's when I take off. Mission accomplished

[Syuryuken]

Tanong lang. Hindi ba pinagbabawal ng LTO mga ganung ilaw?

[phat_azz]

hmm... parang may nabasa ako dati na ang mga starex mataas talaga ang ilaw kahit naka-low beams? drove my friend's starex going home from tagaytay... lahat ng kasalubong namin nag-hi-high beams palagi kahit alam ko namang naka-low beams lang ako...

[OTEP]

If you are using stock bulbs on the Starex, it can be aimed. Regulations in other markets require that headlights be aimable.

dahil sobrang daming ganito sa daan, na perfect ko na ang art of squinting. hehe. :headache:

[JagXtrm]

karamihan ng mga drivers na natatabihan ko sa daan na laging naka 'bright' ay dahil....

1. fully tinted ang front windshield (yng super dark pa!)
2. nasa HIGH yng level ng panel lights (yng may mga optitron & similar gauges) -- kaya nga merong dimmer switch para hindi ka masilaw sa glare e!
3. hindi alam na pag-switch to bright ay pa-forward at hatakin mo naman para bumalik sa low-beam
4. walang tail light ang sinusundan na sasakyan o naka bright din ang nasa harap nya

and lastly...
5. mali ang aim ng headlight nya (naka low beam lang cya pero yung ilaw umaabot sa roof ng truck!

ako ren. heheheh!

Actually, oks lang naman mag HID. Like others would say, kotse mo yan, pero sana naman, use proper equipment. HIDs need Projectors like a lock needs a key. Ganun lang, kelangan complete. Pag wala kang Projector, wag ka mag HID, kasi hassle ka sa daan.

[4wrider]

Siguro nag yung mga brightligthers eh, overcompensate dahil sanay sa rotang puro jeep na naka off yung headlight kahit gabing madilim at umuulan. Pareho silang traffic hazards.

[XTO]

hirap sa kanila, nakakabili sila ng ganun kamahal, simpleng pag- gamit

hindi nila matutunan

hid or not: dapat naka low lang when there's incoming traffic.

high beam kung wala.

o.t. bakit hapon pa lang naka-on na karamihang naka-hid?

[mad_max168]

Not all people with HIDs have the option of High beam since HIDs are normally single low beam applications only except for the Bi-xenons whether with the retractable shield or retracting bulb. I don't recommend vehicles with only a pair of headlights to install HIDs since they loose their high beam therefore they aim their single beam HIDs a bit higher than normal to compensate for not having another pair of H1 high beam headlights. Also, there are a couple of nut cases installing HIDs on their single headlight cars then installing another set of HIDs with their foglights. Foglights are used for FOG... these foglights tend to output a scattered light opposed to the headlights which were designed to output light in a proper aim. Also, foglights need to be yellow in color output since super bright white light will not cut through FOG as their original purpose. In my opinion, if your vehicle is not equipped with at least 4 headlights, don't install HIDs coz this will force you to realign your headlight to aim higher and that wouldn't be considerate for oncoming vehicles.

Sa amin sa bacoor may ganyan din. But i think the driver already changed his headlamps, naka tutukok na pababa. Pero ung glare talga ung nakaka silaw.

[zidane21]

paki add na rin po yung mga pujs na hindi naman naka-on yung mga headlights!!

hehe dami talagang ginagawang pang-porma yung mga fog lights + high beam ngayn sa daanan natin ngayn, kulang na lang maging rice din tsikots/suvs nila!!

[lm723]

May jeepney na kayang naka HID? :D

ako bad trip ako sa mga ganyang jeepny drivers na kasalubong ko na naka high beam lang kahit anung flash ko ng mga ilaw ko wala paring pakelam!

oo nga, sa las pinas din mga astig ang mga jeepney driver. laging naka high maski senyas ka, ayaw pa ring i low beam, nakakainis kasi masakit sa mata

alam ko walang high at low mga jeepneys. direktang naka-

screw headlight nila sa front grill. talagang aangat ang aim

nila lalo't puno ng pasahero. meron nga sa me amin, naka-

tutok sa mga poste ng meralco yung isa

[smooth]

parang 90% ata ng mga taxi naka-high beam lagi. nakakainis pa kung magbababa sila ng pasahero sa lane mo, so nakaharap sila sa iyo at naka-high beam. pagdaan mo, makikita mo wala sila sa kotse.

or napapansin ko lately na dumadami ang mga motorsiklong naka-high beam.

[OTEP]

or napapansin ko lately na dumadami ang mga motorsiklong naka-high beam.

This is because of the daytime running lights that now come standard with some models. It runs at around 80% of the high beam intensity so as to be visible in daytime.

HOWEVER, some stupid bikers don't turn on the light switch (which turns on the instrument lamp, taillamps, and the normal low beams) when the sun sets.

Are there any rules regulating:

1) what your factory headlights can be replaced with, and

2) how many and what kind of extra lights can be installed in addition to the factory headlights?

For example, if you installed extra lights on every inch of your front roofline, not to mention every inch between the two factory headlights, like on 'rally' cars, would that be legal? Is a permit needed?
